Good Morning families, hope everyone has been doing well, especially now with remote learning and having to stay home. I will continue to provide exciting and educational programs for families to engage in with their children whilst their time at home, Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. It is through play that children engage and interact in the world around them.

Mindfulness Yoga at home.

Cosmic kids Yoga-

Cosmic Kids makes a huge wealth of yoga content specifically for kids (and makes some of our favorite yoga DVDs as well). Their Youtube Channel features hundreds of yoga videos in a variety of styles. They have beginner videos that focus on teaching how to do specific poses as well as full “classes” structured around stories and adventures (like the Kickapoo the Kangaroo class above). Because each class is more like watching an interactive story, these yoga videos are perfect for kids who eschew exercise. They even have videos based around kids favorite characters like Moana and Spiderman. No matter your children’s interests, you’ll find some yoga videos they’ll love in the Cosmic Kids library.
